When I told my friend that we're planning to head over to spend 2 weeks at Quartsite, he suggested to us to bring loads of drinking water. He told me that when they stayed there, the water was so bad that they were not able to drink it. On top of that, the water rotted out their water heater tank! But he also said that that was several years ago.

It now got me a bit worried about that. We'll be staying at a campground in town so I'm guessing that we'll have access to city water. Still, I'd like to ask if the conditions are still the same? If so, how much water would you think I should bring?

Use a two stage filter for your fresh water inlet. That should do the trick. To be on the safe side, bring some bottled water for you to drink and make ice with. And then just use the water from Q for everything else.

Make sure that you stop by The RV Pit Stop before making your way to Quartzsite. It's just north of the main intersection on 95 East. They got a really deep well and the quality of the water is good. They also got "Reverse Osmosis" water. I think it's about 25 cents a gallon.
